It's interesting that git cloning the repo works even without logging in.

Are your ssh keys being used? Or did you use the https:// endpoint?
The https endpoint works without authentication
Another curiosity is that it still shows up in the search results for anonymous users: https://github.com/search?q=faceswap

Hard to guess at the intention.

Yet another curiosity is that the repo itself is only accessible to logged in users, it's almost 3 thousand forks are not. This is a half baked GitHub feature.

It's pretty stupid to make it only available to logged in users as all it's doing is annoying people. Hope this "feature" stays half-baked, don't want GitHub to become authwalled like LinkedIn has become.
